As far as we know, at least one original cast member will be returning for the reboot, and it might not be who you think. Kristen Bell, the show’s OG narrator, will once again provide the voice for the mysterious, scandal-breaking blogger. “Kristen Bell has always been and will always be the voice of Gossip Girl,” producers confirmed in a statement in November.
As of now, other fan favorites — including Blake Lively, Chace Crawford, Leighton Meester, Ed Westwick, and Penn Badgley, among others — have not been confirmed. But that doesn’t mean they haven’t expressed interest. Lively, for example, told Variety that “it all sort of depends” on how long the commitment would be. Meester told Vanity Fair in 2017 that “if everyone was into it,” she’d consider it, too. And Crawford said on Watch What Happens Live that “it’d be nice” to return in some capacity. Badgley and Westwick, however, didn’t seem very interested. And though the reboot will certainly be different from the original, the fact that Bell will be returning is confirmation that at least some things will remain the same.
